MCEG 3063. Fluid Mechanics. (2-3) Credit 3 semester hours. The fundamental conservation laws
in fluid statics and dynamics are derived and solved analytically and numerically. Other topics
include: analysis of viscous and inviscid flow; laminar and turbulent flows in pipes and on
external surfaces; open channel flow; hydraulic machinery; and introduction to compressible
flow. Direct applications to problems encountered in practice and in engineering design will be
covered. Problem solving and design application will be emphasized.

6. Specific Goals for Course
a. Specific Outcomes of Instruction
The student will be able to:
i. analyze hydrostatic pressure distribution in fluids, and the effects of these forces on surfaces
ii. understand the fundamental conservation equations in fluid mechanic, and to apply these
laws to solve practical fluid statics and fluid flow problems in engineering,
iii. apply the methodology for solving fluid mechanics problems using their knowledge in
mathematics, science, and the conservation laws.
iv. Solve problems in the fluid mechanics portion of the FE exam.
v. to conduct fluid mechanics experiments, analyze and
interpret the results, and present these in a technical report format.
